Solaris, AIX and HPUX are UNIX(tm) systems, and are (or were, I haven't kept careful track) derived from AT&T Unix distributions. NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD can all trace their genealogy back to AT&T source code, but aren't UNIX(tm) systems, just Unix-like. For that matter, Mac OSX is a UNIX(tm) system, but shares the BSD genealogy instead of being derived from an AT&T distribution. Also: Minix, Ubuntu, Redhat, Gentoo, Fedora, Debian, etc, which are Unix-like but have source code that never included AT&T code. > > Windows: CR-LF > There are countless operating systems available today, each with is own > peccadillos.

I think Windows is the last system maintaining backwards compatibility to systems that predate the rise of Unix. Pretty much everything else either was designed with the Unix model in mind, or converted to it somewhere along the way. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Unix-like systems than Windows systems in the world, given that two of the three most popular smart phone/tablet OS's (IOS and Android) are Unix-like, and the popularity of Unix-like OS's on embedded devices. Most of them could probably be convinced to run a static build of fossil, but not a dynamic one, as there's a fair chance they've been stripped of one or more libraries that fossil needs. <mike *) UNIX(tm) is a trademark of The Open Group, and can legally only be used to describe systems which The Open Group has certified as meeting the Single UNIX Specification. -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.
